Item! MacMinute has picked up a scan of a upcoming magazine ad detailing the "seamless integration of iPod and automobile," specifically, it seems, the BMW 3 Series, X3, and Z4. Although there's no picture of the dock, the new adapter will allow control of the iPod via controls on the steering wheel. If they integrate an iPod-like touch wheel around the BMW logo I will flip. Not that I can afford a Bimmer, mind you, but just because that would be hot. Developing!

The ads lead to the site "iPodYourBMW.com," which for now remains offline.

Apple and its dual-core option


Apple and its dual-core option 08/22/2004 11:29 AM
According to an <A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/18/dual-cores_detailed /">article</A> published Wednesday in The Register, it seems that Freescale Semiconductor Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola Inc., is set to unveil a dual-core processor at Microprocessor Forum in San Jose in October. "Freescale's dual-core PowerPC is expected to sport an on-board memory controller, this one capable of supporting DDR 2 SDRAM, along with a Gigabit Ethernet controller. It is also expected to use the Rapid IO bus, according to past Motorola pronouncements, though MPX bus support is also anticipated to maintain backward compatibility… (with speeds) beyond 2GHz." Of course, this all sounds great, but with all the chatter regarding dual-<I>processor</I> PowerBooks, this dual-core nonsense is bound to cause some confusion. So, allow me to explain, as best I understand it, anyway. The main issue here is heat. As we know, a single processor produces a heck of a lot of warmth, and the issue of cooling has been a major bone of contention in Apple’s hardware. As it goes with the current offerings, the faster the chip, the hotter the output, making it incredibly difficult for Apple to implement either dual G4 or G5 architecture into its current line of laptops. That being said, dual-core processors represent an interesting option — or at least a stop-gap between the PowerBook-friendly G5. Dual-cores can process two times more data per clock, which ultimately allows the whole system to perform much better when running under processor-intensive applications. Furthermore, both cores have their own cache. Level 2 and level 3 cache have always been an issue with G4 processors, as their general clock and bus speed hindrances have been compensated for with a fair amount of cache. However, as with the G5, dual G4 and basically every new chip that may appear the horizon is the architecture of Freescale’s current MPX bus. Since Apple’s not likely to overhaul its flagship laptop (i.e., with RapidIO interconnect) until it is capable to sport a G5, so the dual-core may be as crippled as the DDR SDRAM that currently pumps through the PowerBook. Dual-core may not mean much to the PowerBook as it stands, but it definitely spells good things to come for the PowerPC processor — both from Motorola and (hopefully, eventually) IBM. Since keeping PowerBook's cool and kernel-panic free is of utmost importance, dual-core could very well represent the future of Apple's professional portables. I can see it now: <B>One Apple, Two Cores.</B>

No 60 gb iPod according to Apple 07/20/2004 05:43 PM

My 30 gig iPod is full to the rim, and since I have been collecting an average of 300 megs of legal non copyright infringing unknown artist music a week, I need some more room. My wife wants the 30 I have now, so I am hoping that Engadget is correct and think Apple is bluffing. I can hold her off a couple of months but I am hoping that they do have a 60 gig model in works as I will be buying one if they do. The wife says she doesn't want a mini she wants the real deal. You fellows out their understand what the means. [Engadget]

Should Apple Have An iPod IPO?


Should Apple Have An iPod IPO? 05/05/2004 12:04 AM
Business Week is suggesting that, for all the congratulatory backslapping the folks around Apple have been doing around the iPod and iTunes, they'd be smart to spin off their music business now. The reasoning is that the music side of Apple probably has a much higher perceived value than real value right now. While Apple has been able to command considerable marketshare in both the downloadable music market (even though they don't make any money there) and the handheld music player market, the writer doesn't believe they can hold either position. They've been able to get away with being the high-priced provider so far, but competitors are nipping at their heals. Both the hardware and the downloadable music services risk becoming commodity products, and spinning out a portion of the business and taking the cash would let Apple move on to the next big thing. Of course, the main problem with this idea is that it doesn't appear that Steve Jobs believes the market is going to become commoditized (though, the article suggests, recent insider selling at Apple means other executives aren't so sure).
